So Universal is the equivalent of a poorly run regional park even though they pay an entire staff of lawyers and graphic artists to put together warning signs?

Regional parks are not poorly run at all. Dollywood is run very well and use the same language same with Knotts.

My point is while it it's not worded properly, most guests don't make that big a deal about it.

Yo, but it's not just the consumers that are nitpicking. Internal teams have to deal with this nonsense and it causes headaches. During Team Member previews, every duplicate sign posted at the park entrance near security had a typo with double wording ("the the"). That's extra money coming from some budget to fix.

This. There are entire people whose entire job is creating the signage for these parks. It’s not somebody’s side gig between doing other tasks. It’s considered so important that graphics and signage is often its own distinct drawing package. Warning signs are then a further step above being defined on their own because they go through even more development and coordination with even more teams (operations, safety, legal, the manufacturer, etc). They are absolutely not something just whipped up by someone.

You’re the one who proclaimed a low standard of not caring about safety and then said it’s what regional parks do.

It's not a low standard. There really isn't that big of a difference between saying
"Those with the following conditions" and pregnant being one of them and Expectant Mothers shouldn't ride this attraction".

The message is still the same. Y'all are making a big deal cause Pregnancy isn't a condition.

What does any of this have to do with anyone not caring about safety? Not a single person's safety is being jeopardized by the verbiage on these signs.

Expecting signs to be printed without error is nitpicking? Besides, Disney has also had errors on their printed signs too.

Yo, but it's not just the consumers that are nitpicking. Internal teams have to deal with this nonsense and it causes headaches. During Team Member previews, every duplicate sign posted at the park entrance near security had a typo with double wording ("the the"). That's extra money coming from some budget to fix. I assume these signs have been fixed, but I haven't been since March.

And I don't even know if this has been posted in this thread, but this screenshot comes from a vlogger's video capture.

One or two typos? Fine. But we are seeing quite a few at this rate. And, in my opinion, brings into question the level of care that has truly gone into this park.

IT'S A STRAY APOSTROPHE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! THIS PARK IS A DEATH TRAP!

Then why does Universal spend so much time and money on them and make sure they have approval from their own safety team?

So they can point to the sign and say "We told you so" when trouble arises, which what you perceive as an error will in no way prevent them from doing, because it won't be considered an issue.

The signs aren't actually there to ensure your safety, they're there to ensure the park doesn't get sued. Most people don't even read the signs, and they know this. Makes no difference to Universal so long as they're there. The only person who can actually ensure your safety with regards to any pre-existing health conditions is yourself, by using common sense.

So we should let rampant grammar issues go unchecked?

RAMPANT????? There is a couple of mistakes but the pregnancy one isn't one. Most parks have it on their signs that way.

Why are you Dusters trying so hard to knock this park? I get it, most of you aren't big on Universal.

Why are you inferring I’m a “duster “? I didn’t bring up Disney. The only things in the park that I think should be compared to Disney in terms of artistic achievement and how successful I think they will be are Super Nintendo world and battle for the ministry (maybe. I haven’t ridden it yet but based on what I’ve Heard it’s universals rise of the resistance)

No, you should stop pretending there are "rampant" grammar issues, or that what few issues do exist are preventing the signs from being legible, or that they won't be fixed in due time. You all aren't even bringing these minor errors to Universal's attention by posting about them here, and they will be fixed regardless.

Why? Cause the ones that the loudest on "Grammar issues" and hating on the smallest things are the dusters.

Monsters is definitely a star attraction.
